NAME¶
CosNaming - The CosNaming service is a collection of interfaces that together
define the naming service.
DESCRIPTION¶
The naming service provides the principal mechanism for clients to find objects
in an ORB based world. The naming service provides an initial naming context
that functions as the root context for all names. Given this context clients
can navigate in the name space.
Types that are declared on the CosNaming level are:
typedef string Istring;
struct NameComponent {
Istring id;
Istring kind;
};
typedef sequence <NameComponent> Name;
enum BindingType {nobject, ncontext};
struct Binding {
Name binding_name;
BindingType binding_type;
};
typedef sequence <Binding> BindingList;
To get access to the record definitions for the structs use:
-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming.hrl")..
Names are not an ORB object but the can be structured in components as seen by
the definition above. There are no requirements on names so the service can
support many different conventions and standards.
There are two different interfaces supported in the service:
- *
- NamingContext
- *
- BindingIterator
